When A Master Explores Plain Weave

Bonnie,

I have to say, I am glad I took the Exploring Not So Plain workshop. Learned some helpful information and had a really good time. Round robin's are all organized before hand and not much teaching necessary. This one gave lots of ideas for plain weave and very good for beginners. Loved that you had so many "keep 'em busy" projects.

I AM ENCOURAGED BY THE POSSIBILITY OF COMBINING THE SUPPLEMENTARY WARP WITH THE WOVEN WORDS. A FRESH LOOK FOR ME TO EXPERIMENT WITH. I WILL TRY ANOTHER ONE SOON. I WANT TO DO PEACE ON EARTH FOR THEHOLIDAYS AND START A PEACE SERIES. I HAVE 16 YDS OF THIS ON THELOOM. THIS ONE IS PEACE, WORLD PEACE. I SCRAMBLED SOME OF THELETTERS AND REVERSED THE S SECOND PEACE.. IS SCRAMBLING LETTERSPART OF THE THINGS THAT ARE OK?

Bonnie says, "If it weaves up to look like the picture above---well, yes, it's Ok."

About Me

In addition to teaching unique workshops and presenting entertaining programs, I spend most of my time designing and creating one-of-a-kind weaving. With a strong focus on color, I explore the boundaries and the unending complexities of plain weave. When not in my weaving studio, I can be found in the kitchen cooking up edible delights, going to NIA classes, or watching movies. I have a BFA in textile design from Rhode Island School of Design and have been weaving since 1960.
